Taken from a great article posted bydbingham that you can link to here: http://hubski.com/pub?id=5884

"Today, unlike 1945 or 1980 or 1999, the top 400 U.S. families own more than the the bottom 50% of Americans. Please, please, please pause a minute and picture that in your mind. If you can somehow manage to shrug that off, is there some level of disparity that would worry you?"

-Here in lies the reason people are up-in-arms! Should those 400 families pay a smaller amount (percentage wise) than I do? I pay around 33%. -Somehow I doubt they did.
